Interesting Sales Last Week

In Portland, 5 townhouses, 11 condos, and 62 homes sold last week. In condos, there were a couple of interesting new construction sales at Encore and Benson Tower, plus notable resales in the Casey and Meriwether buildings.

311 NW 12th Ave #801

The highest priced sale last week (even counting single family homes) was this 8th floor condo at Casey Condos, a LEED Platinum-certified building in the Pearl District. The 2,000+ square foot 2-bedroom plus den sold for $1.1M after listing on Oct 7 for $1.15M.

949 NW Overton #1102

Not a bad view to be had from this 11th floor condo at Encore. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath, and 1,523 square foot corner unit in the Pearl District was purchased for $619K. Encore Condominiums was built in 2009 and is a LEED Silver-certified building.

836 SW Curry St #404

A different view of the river and some crazy-huge virtual flame are what can be found in this recently sold condo at Meriwether in the South Waterfront. The 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath condo was briefly listed in 2008 and then was relisted in May of this year for $489k. The 1,246 square foot unit sold for $470K.

1500 SW 11th Ave #1501

I can’t say I’m a big fan of the large columns in the Benson Tower units; however, I guess a column is better than a wall that you can’t see through. This 15th floor corner unit with 1,095 square feet, 2 bedrooms, and 2 baths was purchased for $489K.
